What are “off-loom” bead-weaving stitches?
Off-loom bead-weaving stitches are used to stitch seed beads and other beads together with a needle and thread instead of a loom. Some of the most popular off-loom stitches are peyote (also known as gourd) stitch, square stitch, brick (also known as Comanche) stitch, right-angle weave, herringbone (also known as Ndebele) stitch, and netting.
